Department Overview:

The stage R&D department develops new technologies and products for the stage business unit. We work on a wide range of products ranging from ultraprecision systems that achieve nanometer-level precision for semiconductor applications, to large format and highly dynamic gantry systems capable of accelerating hundreds of kilograms of mass in excess of 4 g's. The R&D team comprises members with diverse technical specialities working in an interdisciplinary setting on some of the most challenging technical problems in the company.

Job Description

Carry out mechanical design of multi-axis stages and motion systems.
Carry out basic engineering analysis & computation to validate preliminary design concepts.
Carry out finite element analysis to optimise and validate mechanical static and dynamic characteristics.
Prepare engineering drawing packages (2D and 3D) for manufacturing.
Prepare manufacturing documentation of new products (e.g. assembly drawings, work instructions, test plans) to prepare for transfer to manufacturing.
Conduct hands-on assembly and mechatronics debugging of prototype stages or motion systems.
Design and conduct experiments to address gaps in knowledge and mitigate technical risk of design.
Work with local and overseas teams (such as Sales, Applications, Manufacturing) within the organisation to support the entire product lifecycle (i.e. from conceptualisation to commercialisation).

Qualifications

Candidate must possess at least Bachelor's Degree / Master's Degree and/or equivalent, preferably in Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and/or any other relevant course of study.
We will consider If applicants with alternative background with strong interest and motivation to learn.
Preferably with 1-2 Year(s) of working experience in relevant engineering industry.
Applicants without experience but with good learning ability are welcome to apply, undergraduate training in Mechanical / Mechatronics engineering or related field, prefer GPA better than 4/5.
